Great food
by DZM2 at Citysearch
I pick restaurants based on whether their food is consistently good. This is one of those places. The entrees are generally American style dishes. Think pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, or fried chicken with mac and cheese. They also have burgers/sandwiches. The dining area is small but we've never had to wait long for a table. (The bar is huge and what most people go to Atkin's Park for). When you're done eating, make a night of it by wandering over to the bar area for socalizing (always busy) or any of the other VaHi bars withing walking distance.
- Pros: Food, location
- Cons: Parking

Comfort Food
by rebecca4278 at Citysearch

- Pros: Good food, good location
- Cons: Parking

- Pros: Food is great
- Cons: Parking in Atlanta.
